In case you're wondering, "Lorf" was originally a typo of "Lord", but I

One of my least favourite "strips". I thought it was poor filler material,
but some people seem to like it. It's an interesting style, anyway.

Someone (I won't say any names because the person is apparently insane) has
actually printed this one and stuck it on a wall. Although I'm extremely
flattered, I also think the person in question might go nuts and start
stalking me if I make just one too many filler strips...

This one is rather amusing, I think, probably because it reminds me of an
amusing Simpsons episode, in which case the Nerd Boy strip is funny by
association. Yes, I know it doesn't work that way.

Deja vu indeed. Funny, now that I wrote it, it looks like I was making a
reference to the Usenet archive in the strip. Let's say that I was.

REAL MEN aka "STUPID" are also sentimental and very attached. Wolfenstein 3D was the first 3D game and on top of that that was the first (i know of) that used the New Card called Creative SoundBlaster and has sounds of doors opening, etc... It might be a really old one... but it ROCKS even today... Personally, I never liked Duke Nuke 'em... Doom... I FLIP!!! To get my frustration out, a quick game of Doom is anyday helpful. Quake and Quake II are second choices. Sometimes...Red Alert 2 is what can take up Hours of mine... ;) WOAH!!

Which only means, that you aren't allowed to sell and/or buy such games in Germany. You still can buy them i.e. in Austria and play them in Germany. Importing these games from a non-german Online-Store isn't forbidden, too. Finally you break no law by playing such games in Germany. -- Ciao, _________________________________________ | | | _ | _ | ___| | | | | | | | _|___ | ---| | | | |_|_|_|__|__|__|__|_____|_____|__|__|_____|

As I understand it, the point is (a) you're not allowed to advertise the games, and (b) you're not allowed to sell the game *to minors*. So if a game gets put on the "Index jugendgef�hrdender Schriften"(?), then you can sell it as long as you know that the buyer is an adult.

Games which are noticed on the "Index" mustn't be advertised and/or sell to non-adults. But Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein3D contain Nazi-Symbols, so not even adults are allowed to buy these games in Germany. -- Ciao, _________________________________________ | | | _ | _ | ___| | | | | | | | _|___ | ---| | | | |_|_|_|__|__|__|__|_____|_____|__|__|_____|

Once, when I was in highschool, this one guy was joking around but actually hurt someone's feelings unintentionally. He was told that there was a new foreign-exchange student in his 3rd period class who'd come the day before when he'd been sick and at home. His classmates told him that she was really nice. He asked where she was from, someone said "Germany" and he replied with a little chuckle "So I guess I shouldn't ask her about the war then, eh?" She was standing right behind him.

But I know of a friend who ordered Half-Life coz there was a CENSORED version of the same that was selling in Germany. So legally he can buy it online from US and play as much as he wants in GERMANY... ;) LESS Bloodshed (display of blood) in the censored version... Censorship...

I think the idea behind that is quite good, but you can't cut all ways of getting the censored games. As I said, there are still some strange decisions. But if the parents don't mind. Joey
